1
I walk into the corner of my room
2
See my friends in high places
3
I don't know which is which or who is whom
4
They've stolen each other's faces
5
Janet is there with her high head and hair
6
And full of bedroom feathers
7
Janet is known to make dead men groan
8
In any kind of weather
9
I crawl over to her
10
I say, ?Hey baby?, I say, ?Hey, Janet
11
You are the one, you are the sun
12
And I'm your dutiful planet"
13
But she ain't down with any of that
14
'Cause she's heard that shit before
15
And I say, ?Oh yeah, you're right?
16
'Cause I see Betty X standing by the door
17
With more news from nowhere
18
Yeah, more news from nowhere
19
And it's getting strange in here
20
Yeah, it's getting stranger every year
21
More news from nowhere
22
Yeah, more news from nowhere, alright now
23
Now Betty X is like Betty Y minus that fatal chromosome
24
Her hair is like the wine dark sea in which sailors come home
25
I say, ?Hey baby?, I say, ?Hey, Betty X?
26
I lean close up to her throat
27
"This light you are carrying is like a lamp hanging from a distant boat"
28
"It is my light," says Betty, Betty X says, "This light ain't yours"
29
And so much wind blew through her words
30
That I went rolling down the hall
31
For more news from nowhere
32
More news from nowhere
33
And it's strange in here
34
Yeah, it gets stranger every year
35
More news from nowhere
36
Yeah, more news from nowhere
37
I turn another corner
38
I go down a corridor and I see this guy
39
He must be about one hundred foot tall
40
And he only has one eye
41
He asks me for my autograph
42
I write nobody and then
43
I wrap myself up in my woolly coat
44
And I blind him with my pen
45
'Cause someone must have stuck something in my drink
46
Every thing's getting strange looking
47
Half the people have turned into squealing pigs
48
The other half are cooking
49
Well, let me out of here I cried
50
And I went pushing past
51
And I saw Miss Polly singing with some girls
52
I cried, struck me to the mast
53
For more news from nowhere
54
Yeah, more news from nowhere
55
It's getting strange in here
56
And it gets stranger every year
57
More news from nowhere
58
Yeah, more news from nowhere
59
Well, then a black girl with no clothes on
60
She danced across the room
61
We charted the progress of the planets
62
Around that boogie woogie moon
63
I called her my Nubian princess
64
Gave her some sweet back fat ass jive
65
Spent the next seven years between her legs
66
A pining for my wife
67
But then by and by it all went wrong
68
I fell washed up on a shore
69
She stared down at me from up in the storm
70
And I sopped up on the floor
71
For more news from nowhere
72
Yeah, more news from nowhere
73
And don't it make you feel alone
74
Don't it make you wanna get right on home
75
More news from nowhere
76
More news from nowhere, let me hear it now
77
Well, here comes Elena with two black eyes
78
She's given herself a transfusion
79
She's filled herself with panda blood
80
To avoid all the confusion
81
I say, "The sun rises and falls with you
82
And various things about love"
83
But a rising violence in me cuts all my circuits off
84
Well, Elena she starts screaming
85
Her cheeks are full of psychotropic leaves
86
Her extinction was nearly absolute
87
When she turned her back on me
88
For more news from nowhere
89
I said, more news from nowhere
90
And it's getting strange in here
91
Yeah, it gets stranger every year
92
More news from nowhere
93
Yeah, more news from nowhere, alright, alright
94
I bump and crash into Deanna
95
Hanging pretty in the door frame
96
All the horrors that have befallen me
97
Well, Deanna is to blame
98
Every time I see you baby
99
You make me feel so unalone
100
And I wipe my face into her dress
101
Long after she'd gone home
102
With more news from nowhere
103
Yeah, more news from nowhere
104
And don't it make you feel alone
105
Yeah, and don't it make you wanna get right back home
106
More news from nowhere
107
Yeah, more news from nowhere, alright
108
And don't it make you feel so sad
109
Don't the blood rush to your feet
110
To think that everything you do today
111
Tomorrow is obsolete
112
Technology and women
113
And little children, too
114
Don't it make you feel blue
115
Don't it make you feel blue
116
For more news from nowhere
117
With more news from nowhere
118
Don't it make you feel alone
119
Yeah, and don't it make you wanna get right back home
120
More news from nowhere
121
Yeah, more news from nowhere, one last time
122
Well, I gotta say
123
Yeah, I gotta say
124
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
